Definitions
- the present disclosure relates to aircraft wheel and brake systems and, more particularly, to layered components having plies interleaved with compliant interlayers for use within aircraft brake systems and other apparatus.
- Aircraft typically utilize brake systems or mechanisms on wheels to slow or stop the aircraft during landings, taxiing and emergency situations, such as, for example, a rejected takeoff (RTO), which generally refers to application of a brake mechanism during an aborted takeoff and involves high braking loads over a short time period, resulting in a rapid increase in the brake temperature.
- RTO rejected takeoff
- a brake mechanism generally employs a heat sink comprising a series of friction disks, sandwiched between a pressure plate and an end plate, that may be forced into sliding contact with one another during a brake application to slow or stop the aircraft. Under various conditions, such brake applications may generate high temperatures and frictional loads throughout the heat sink and particularly on the surfaces of the stators and rotors and the pressure plate and the end plate that comprise the heat sink.

- An actuating mechanism for the brake mechanism 100 includes a plurality of actuator ram assemblies, including the actuator ram assembly 110, circumferentially spaced around a piston housing 122 (only one actuator ram assembly is illustrated in FIG. 1B ).
- the plurality of actuator ram assemblies affects a braking action by urging the pressure plate 112 and the plurality of stator disks 118 into frictional engagement with the plurality of rotor disks 116 and against the end plate 114.
- the resulting frictional contact slows or stops or otherwise prevents rotation of the wheel 104.

- the fibers are fully crystalline, partially crystalline or predominantly amorphous or glassy.
- the plurality of interlayers may comprise mats fabricated from other materials, including, for example, tape cast sheets comprising a resin, particulates, continuous or chopped fibers (nanofiber or otherwise), or nanotubes or the like.
- the interlayers provides several functional advantages to the layered structure 200, either during fabrication or following fabrication and while in use (e.g., as a rotor or stator within a brake mechanism).
- Various of the advantages include, for example, a reduction in asperities between adjacent pairs of plies or laminates, the ability to drape the interlayer over irregularly shaped surfaces or multiple surfaces, the ability to conform to surface irregularities, the ability to fill voids between adjacent pairs of plies or laminates, the ability to provide a compositional change to the fabricated layered structure, and the ability to densify joints between adjacent pairs of plies or laminates.
- the interlayers may be fabricated independently of the plies or laminates and, upon assembly and bonding, the interlayers enable an intimate contact to be established between the plies or laminates.
- a layered structure 300 prior to bonding, is illustrated having a plurality of nominally dense plies, including, for example, a first ply 302, a second ply 304, a third ply 306, a fourth ply 308 and a fifth ply 310, interleaved by a plurality of compliant interlayers, including, for example, a first interlayer 303, a second interlayer 305, a third interlayer 307 and a fourth interlayer 309, respectively.
- the pluralities of plies and interlayers are similar to the plurality of nominally dense plies 202 and the plurality of interlayers 204 described above with reference to FIG. 2 .
- a layered component 312, as illustrated in FIG. 3B may be machined or otherwise processed into a final form, such as, for example, a brake component.
- machining of the plies may take place prior to assembly and bonding, or both prior to and after assembly and bonding.
- each of the plies (302, 304, 306, 308, 310) is densified to a nominal density prior to arrangement with the interlayers (303, 305, 307, 309) for assembly.
- the plies may be densified by one or more of any of the densification techniques known to those skilled in the art, such as, for example, PIP, CVI, MI, chemical vapor deposition (CVD), slurry casting, atomic layer deposition (ALD), hot pressing, glass transfer molding, or the like.
- an ALD process is employed to enable a more complete densification of the plies (or the feedstock) prior to bonding.
- the ALD process works by first adsorbing a nominal (mono)layer of a precursor on one or more surfaces of the feedstock (e.g., a fiber based structure such as a ply, a layer or a foam structure), purging the excess precursor, and then introducing a second reactant that converts the adsorbed layer to the desired chemistry.
- a nominal (mono)layer of a precursor on one or more surfaces of the feedstock (e.g., a fiber based structure such as a ply, a layer or a foam structure), purging the excess precursor, and then introducing a second reactant that converts the adsorbed layer to the desired chemistry.
- the reaction conditions are chosen to achieve the best combination of precursor adsorption and subsequent reaction, with typical growth per cycle in the
- Compositions can vary from metals to oxides and other ceramics (e.g., borides, carbides, nitrides or the like as described above), multilayer structures and even polymers such as, for example, by means of Molecular Layer Deposition (MLD).
- MLD Molecular Layer Deposition
- ALD coating processes such as, for example, those used for Al 2 O 3 , may be used to deposit several tens of microns of material.
- the plies (302, 304, 306, 308, 310) (or a plurality of nominally dense plies) may be produced utilizing higher throughput ALD techniques such as spatial ALD.
- the feedstock plies may be densified via any suitable rapid processing densification technique in continuous or batch operations.
- the ALD process tends to enable substantially uniform build-up of material on exposed surfaces, throughout high aspect ratio substrates (including, for example, fibers, microcracks, and gaps) and even among several preform parts in a deposition chamber.
- ALD would tend to enable more uniform filling of a CMC structure (or any fiber, particulate, or other type of preform or substrate or feedstock) and therefore tends to inhibit "canning off' or to facilitate a substantial reduction in "canning off' of the feedstock based purely on geometric considerations.
- CMC feedstock preforms may possess geometries tending to promote densification at the feedstock surface, tending thereby to accelerate surface deposition and tending thereby to inhibit interior densification of the preform (e.g., by closing gas paths to the preform interior).
- the interior of a preform may be "canned off' from the surface layers tending thereby to seal it from further densification, creating a density gradient in the component.
- the deposition rate for ALD (with sufficient time for diffusion) also does not change due to the process being an inherently self-limiting surface reaction.
- a CVI or CVD densification process may result in a density gradient from outside-in (e.g., from diffusional processes) and, due to geometrical constraints, may result in a more rapid reaction and "canning-off' of a pore structure of the feedstock.
- ALD tends to continue to uniformly and completely fill the pore structure due to being a series of self-limiting surface reactions which do not result in non-uniform nucleation and growth of the deposited material as is seen in CVI processes.
- utilizing a reduced feedstock volume may tend to improve part densification.
- the ALD process tends to enable manufacture of CMC structures with relatively higher fiber or other reinforcement content loading (e.g., structures comprising greater than sixty percent (60%) by volume fiber or other reinforcement) than the other densification processes described herein.
- ALD densification of feedstock plies may tend to improve the mechanical properties of CMC structures.
- feedstock plies may be cut to shape, machined or laid up in a mold prior to densification thereby enabling production of nominally dense plies of arbitrary shape or curvature.
- individual feedstock plies may be densified in a mold having an annular shape for a brake component or a mold having the curvature of an airfoil to generate a nominally dense ply having an annular structure or an airfoil curvature.
- each of the nominally dense plies (302, 304, 306, 308, 310) may be layered and bonded at contact interfaces between each of the plies to form the layered component 312 (e.g., a uniform CMC structure) comprising the bonded layers of nominally dense plies (302, 304, 306, 308, 310) interleaved with the interlayers (303, 305, 307, 309).
- the layered component 312 e.g., a uniform CMC structure
- first ply 302 and the second ply 304 may make surface contact with the first interlayer 303 at contact interfaces and bonded via at least one of a Field Assisted Sintering Technique (FAST), a Spark Plasma Sintering (SPS) process, or a similar method that facilitates localized heating at the contact interfaces to be bonded.
- FAST Field Assisted Sintering Technique
- SPS Spark Plasma Sintering
- Each of the remaining plies and interlayers may similarly be bonded via the localized heating process to build up the layered component.
- the interlayers promote bonding and enhance interlaminar properties (e.g., mechanical, thermal, electrical or the like) of the layered component 312.
- the interlayers may comprise a particulate, a chopped fiber, a nanotube, a slurry or the like.
- Exemplary particulate compositions include those previously described for carbides, oxides, nitrides and borides, and include morphologies ranging from spherical or acicular to elongated, and sizes ranging from nanometer or submicron to tens of microns.
- Exemplary chopped fibers include carbon, silicon carbide, silicon nitride, silicon oxycarbide and oxides.
- Exemplary slurries may be aqueous or organic solvent based suspensions or dispersions of ceramic, metal or carbonaceous particulates.
- a layered structure 400 prior to bonding, is illustrated having a plurality of nominally dense plies, including, for example, a first ply 402, a second ply 404, a third ply 406, a fourth ply 408 and a fifth ply 410, interleaved by a plurality of interlayers, including, for example, a first interlayer 403, a second interlayer 405, a third interlayer 407 and a fourth interlayer 409, respectively.
- the pluralities of plies and interlayers are similar to the plurality of nominally dense plies 202 and the plurality of interlayers 204 described above with reference to FIG. 2 .
- the plies (402, 404, 406, 408, 410) and the interlayers (403, 405, 407,409) may be bonded to form a sandwich-like CMC structure defined by a set of core plies (404, 406, 408) (or inner plies, shown in light shade) of a first CMC composition (e.g., a SiC/SiC composition) and a set of face plies (402, 410) (or outer plies, shown in dark shade) of a second CMC composition (e.g., an ultra-high temperature ceramic (UHTC) composition, an environmental barrier coating (EBC) composition or a thermal barrier coating (TBC) composition).
- UHTC ultra-high temperature ceramic
- EBC environmental barrier coating
- TBC thermal barrier coating
- a CMC composition may include a monolithic ceramic composition (e.g., a non-fiber reinforced composition).
- the core plies (404, 406, 408) may have an alternating fiber orientation whereby the fibers of each of the respectively adjacent plies are set at a non-parallel relative angle.
- the fibers within a center core ply (406) may be set at an angle of zero degrees (0°) relative to a reference direction, while the fibers within each of the respectively adjacent core plies (404, 408) may be set orthogonal (or at ninety degrees (90°)) with respect to the fibers within the center core ply (406).
- the structure just described may be used in a brake component, such as, for example, a rotor disk or a stator disk, with the face plies (402, 410) (e.g., a frictional surface or a braking surface) constructed of an ultra-high temperature composition (e.g., a UHTC composition) and the core plies (or the core of the rotor disk or the stator disk) constructed of a relatively lower temperature composition (e.g., a SiC/SiC composition).
- a brake component such as, for example, a rotor disk or a stator disk, with the face plies (402, 410) (e.g., a frictional surface or a braking surface) constructed of an ultra-high temperature composition (e.g., a UHTC composition) and the core plies (or the core of the rotor disk or the stator disk) constructed of a relatively lower temperature composition (e.g., a SiC/SiC composition).
- UHTC composition ultra-high
- a layered structure 420 prior to bonding, is illustrated having a plurality of plies, including, for example, a first ply 422, a second ply 424, a third ply 426, a fourth ply 428 and a fifth ply 430, interleaved by a plurality of interlayers, including, for example, a first interlayer 423, a second interlayer 425, a third interlayer 427 and a fourth interlayer 429, respectively.
- the pluralities of plies and interlayers are similar to the plurality of nominally dense plies 202 and the plurality of interlayers 204 described above with reference to FIG. 2 .
- the plies (422, 424, 426, 428, 430) and the interlayers (423, 425, 427,429) may be bonded to form a gradated-like CMC structure defined by a gradation between a ply (422) having a relatively lower temperature CMC composition and a ply (430) having a UHTC CMC composition or a EBC or TBC composition.
- the CMC composition of the plurality of plies (422, 424, 426, 428, 430), interleaved by the plurality of interlayers (423, 425, 427,429), may vary along a gradient (illustrated as a lighter to a darker shade of the plies) defined from the low temperature CMC plies and increasing to the high temperature CMC plies.
- a gradated CMC structure such as, for example, a combustor liner, may be optimized to include relatively high temperature CMC compounds proximate a flame front and relatively low temperature CMC compounds away from the flame front.
- a turbine vane or blade may be fabricated to comprise the relatively high temperature CMC compounds proximate an aerodynamic surface and the relatively low temperature CMC compounds or plies proximate a core layer, with a gradated-like structure therebetween.
- a CMC structure may be optimized for compositions tending thereby to reduce material costs and production costs and time while tending to increase mechanical and thermal performance of the CMC structure.
- the gradation may be tailored for any number of desirable physical, thermal, electrical, material, and mechanical properties including, but not limited to coefficient of thermal expansion, toughness, hardness, strength, friction and wear performance, thermal and electrical conductivities, elastic modulus, heat capacity, oxidation behavior and density.
- one or more of the interlayers (423, 425, 427,429), particularly the interlayers adjacent a wear surface, may prove advantageous in repair or refurbishment operations. For example, if a brake wear surface becomes worn through use, then the ply (or plies) that forms the wear surface may be machined away and replaced with a new interlayer and ply (or interlayers and plies), assembled and bonded to the outer surface that results following the machining away, thereby forming a new wear surface.
- the plurality of plies 442 may include nominally dense plies as described above, interleaved by a plurality of compliant interlayers.
- the pluralities of plies and interlayers are similar to the plurality of nominally dense plies 202 and the plurality of interlayers 204 described above with reference to FIG. 2 .
- the plurality of nominally dense plies 442 and, if incorporated, the plurality of compliant interlayers may be bonded to form a gradated-like CMC structure similar to those described above with reference to FIGS.
- the layered structure 440 is bonded using, for example, a FAST process to generate a layered structure 444.
- the layered structure 444 may be machined to generate a layered component or to generate layered subcomponents for subsequent assembly.
- the layered component 444 may be cut into a plurality of sublayers 446 having gradated properties similar to those described above, the cuts being made along a plurality of cutting planes 445.
- the plurality of sublayers 446 may be reoriented (e.g., rotated with respect to one another) into a modified layered structure 448.
- one or more compliant interlayers 450 are interleaved within the modified layered structure 448 and a second bonding process (e.g., a FAST process) is applied.
- the resulting layered structure or component may thus be tailored with specialized gradated properties in different directions and at different locations throughout the resulting layered structure to provide specialized thermal or structural attributes of the final component.
- a first step 502 includes performing a densification of a feedstock ply to generate a nominally dense ply.
- the nominally dense ply may have an apparent density between ninety percent (90%) and one-hundred percent (100%) of the theoretical maximum density for a CMC composition selected for densification of the feedstock ply.
- a second step 504 may include assembling a plurality of nominally dense plies, interleaved by a plurality of interlayers, to generate a preform structure.
- a third step 506 includes bonding the preform structure to generate a layered structure.
- the third step 506 includes bonding the preform structure via a FAST process, an SPS process, a radiative heating process, a Joule heating process or a similar process or method that facilitates a localized heating at the bonding interface between the plies and the interlayers.
- a fourth step 508 includes performing a secondary densification process to the layered structure subsequent to the bonding process such as, for example, an ALD or a CVD densification process.
- the secondary densification may also occur during the bonding operation (e.g., during the FAST process) of the third step 506.
- a fifth step 510 includes finishing or machining the layered structure or applying a surface coating to the layered structure to generate the layered component.
- machining of the plies may take place prior to or between the assembly and bonding steps, or both prior to or between and after the assembly and bonding steps.
